Adds Google Cloud Text-to-Speech as alternative TTS provider and fixes audio playback on Linux (WSL2). - Google Cloud TTS via REST API (no SDK), configurable in settings.json - Cross-platform audio: afplay (macOS), mpv/ffplay/aplay (Linux) - Cross-platform notifications: osascript (macOS), notify-send (Linux) - Backwards compatible: defaults to ElevenLabs when ttsProvider unset - Accepts GOOGLE_CLOUD_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY from ~/.env Re-implementation of danielmiessler#687 with additional Linux/WSL2 support. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Expands the installer's Step 7 (Voice Setup) to support multiple TTS providers instead of hardcoding ElevenLabs: - New provider selection prompt: ElevenLabs / Google Cloud TTS / Skip - Google Cloud TTS path: key search, validation, Neural2-D default - ElevenLabs path: unchanged existing flow - Settings.json gets ttsProvider + googleCloudVoice when Google selected - .env saves the correct key for chosen provider - Key validation for Google Cloud via texttospeech.googleapis.com - Updated types, config-gen, detect, steps descriptions Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Ports the Linux service installation from danielmiessler#686 to v4.0.3: - Platform detection at startup (Darwin/Linux) - Linux: systemd user service instead of LaunchAgent - Linux: checks for audio player (mpv/ffplay/aplay) and notify-send - Detects both ElevenLabs and Google Cloud API keys - Menu bar indicator prompt only on macOS - Removed macOS-specific "say" fallback references Re-implementation of danielmiessler#686 install.sh changes for current architecture.

When ELEVENLABS_API_KEY is missing or the ElevenLabs API call fails, the VoiceServer now falls back to macOS native `say` command instead of silently skipping voice output. Pronunciation rules from pronunciations.json are applied to the fallback too. - Only triggers when ElevenLabs path didn't play (no double-speak) - Reuses existing spawnSafe() and applyPronunciations() helpers - Fails gracefully — logs error, doesn't crash server - Uses error: unknown with instanceof type guard - TODO: Linux equivalent (see danielmiessler#855, danielmiessler#872) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ut device New `voice.requireHeadphones` setting in settings.json (default: false). When enabled, VoiceServer checks the default audio output device via `system_profiler SPAudioDataType -json` and skips voice playback if the output is built-in laptop speakers. Voice plays normally through Bluetooth, USB, HDMI, AirPlay, and other external audio devices. - Uses `-json` flag for reliable machine-parseable output - Caches detection result for 30 seconds (system_profiler takes 140-250ms) - 3-second timeout prevents hangs if system_profiler stalls - Fails open — if detection fails, voice plays anyway (convenience, not security) - Desktop notification banners display regardless of headphone state - Config uses `=== true` (opt-in, missing key defaults to OFF) - TODO: Linux equivalent (see danielmiessler#855, danielmiessler#872) References danielmiessler#855 Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Merged origin/main into feat/google-cloud-tts-v2. Single conflict in actions.ts imports — kept both PAI_VERSION/ALGORITHM_VERSION from main and validateGoogleCloudKey from this branch. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
